Meet the new crew... 7 Angora Goats, 2 Bucks 5 Does and a spinning wheel, which there is no photo of.

The perfect goats for a vegetarian. No worries someone will eat them if you have to sell some. These guys are fiber goats, not meat goats, not dairy goats. I don't plan on selling any of the kids for a long, long time. We will eventually reach capacity and I know I will have to. But people buy these goats for their fiber or because they are calm and make nice pets and they still make good clean up goats. Keeper adores these goats! They like him too!

You can see Cubey and her friends in the background. We will always have Cubey. :O)

He is great isn't he! Sooooo sweet, loves to be petted.

These are both the bucks, the one to the left has big old wide horns. The other fella is a bit smaller and has big horns but not as wide. You have to look out for those horns when you bring the feed! They don't try to get you but they move around of course to get the best spot to eat and if your in the way, yep you get frogged with a horn.

Do you love this fellas horns. I named him Zeus

This little sweety has long ears and just looks like a Teddy Bear :O)

This little girl had one broke horn but she is so sweet. She said I want to come home with you too.

I was just thinking about you and your blog the other day! Going back to work has set me back on my blogging too...always something else on the farm needs to get done. I too have gone back to swimming at the Gym in the heated pool and here at the house (cold pool)...My goal: kayaking on the River...need lots of upper body strength that I've been lacking since my motorcycle accident.Love your goats...spinning mohair is a favorite...and I think it's awesome the way it takes up a dye! Yummy! Keep us in the loop and take care.

I'm so glad to get some news from you. Reading your recent posts, I understand how busy you must have been. And will continue to be with all these cuties and working on the outside too. These goats, I don't think I have ever seen one before, are adorable. Keeper is looking great too, so grown up now. Take care.

Merry Christmas and thanks for stopping by, it is always good to hear from you. Samson is big for his breed and weighs too much. He gained after being on steroids and is only slowly losing it. They look a bit alike, big white dogs, and good ones too.

Ozark Mountains, Arkansas

Its a place where the mountains whisper, the creeks and springs sing songs to your soul. The trees blow a breeze of pure contentment. Earth, wind, fire and water. All the elements of being. Mother nature and her sprites in all their glory live there. Once you have lived in these mountains, you may leave them for a time. You may move far, far away for many years, but they will never leave you. They will softly beckon to your soul...return, return home .... We are here as we have always been and always will be. Come home ...The Ozark Mountains in Arkansas, where I am from and where we will retire.

About Me

A bit off the beaten path in my thinking, okay probably not even close to the path.
I love to grow things, being outside in the dirt is a have to for me. Its as much a part of my well being as eating and drinking.
I enjoy life, no I love life. I try hard to take care of this body I have been loaned for the duration. A healthy lifestyle is important to me... exercise, organic food and being vegetarian for over 30 years fit into that.
Occupation: Interior Design and I am a Farmer. Quite the mix no? :O)
